Yeah I’ve already warned my discord friends that the moment I have to show my ID I’m out of there without a goodbye. It sucks, but I just can’t compromise further. Personal ID’s are an absolute red line.

Yeah, for some reason I ran into that issue, too. I'm not giving my governmental ID to some random corporation. If that means I can't use their services, then so be it. Someone always has to be the first to say "no thanks" to their bs.

Yeah I basically told my discord friends that I’m not going to be held hostage with the threat of losing contact with them, so if they want to communicate with me they can hit me up by other means which I shared.

I saw a post on the GrapheneOS forum of someone who was accosted by Google with this requirement, so they are certainly using it. It's interesting the parallels of Google's recaptcha and Cloudflare turnstile. Cloudflare is free, no image selector, allows VPNs and Tor for the most part, just 0 click with a good ip reputation and 1 click with a bad one. Recaptcha is paid, trains waymos, sucks millions of hours of human…

Cloudflare allows you to pass with 1 click? I had as many as 10 minutes of solving capchas on ot before turning away

I'm pretty sure, Cloudflare capchas could be endless

CloudFlare captcha blocks my Opera Mobile unless I switch the user agent back to mobile.

Doesn't surprise me at all and seems like a good solution to the problem of human verification. It won't take long for AI to catch up to that, but this captcha method might hold for a couple of months. Not sure what problem everybody here is having with this. The alternative would be device certificate stuff (ala did Apple sign for this being a proper Apple device?). Having to shake your hand sounds a lot more privac…

Is it okay if I show my penis. I've checked and the fingerprint scanner also registers my ballsack correctly.

As soon as I get more than 2 captchas, I'm out. At that point, I'm assuming they're just testing my patience to train their models. Switching VPN servers is much more effective.

Imagine getting your hand wrongly blacklisted as a fake, and then someday down the road you make a wrong gesture during an online interview and now your real-name is also on the suspicion list.

Or Palantir films your hands while trying to enter a venue, border, or voting booth.

yeah, they are as soon as you use a non-mainstream browser. never got past cloudflare with the Pale Moon browser, for instance. seeing a site like reclaimthenet - fighting for a free internet - gated behind cloudflare struck me as odd, to say the least. i just had to prove that i'm not a bot to be able to read the article.

I can show them a finger.

And seriously - what about people without hands? What about scammers pretending to be Google gaining access to my camera? What about blind people? What about people using the site in places where camera use is not allowed?

How many people on Discord would really give ID? It's not Facebook; all their names are pseudonyms, and they're talking privately.
